More useful would be what it took to make old versions of sendmail work
on apollos and apply that knowledge to recent versions.  Just like BSD
UNIX, once you're used to the new features of 4.3, going back to a 4.2
environment is hell on earth.  So it is with older versions of sendmail.

Someone a few weeks back posted a msg in comp.sys.apollo stating that he
had made sendmail sit up and dance on apollo systems.  His expertise
was obviously great, but there's been no response to my query about
migrating his changes into the UIUC/NIU version of IDA sendmail.
